Suddenly Single

Capo 1st Fret


Intro: D G C G


Verse 1:

G                           C         G
In the pale neon light of a Saturday night
                              C
You'll see him walk up to the bar
D     G                        C              G
He'll size up the ladies, the "no's" and the "maybe's"
        Em                            D
Till he finds one who'll let down her guard
         C
Then the band on his hand gets slipped off again
        G                         C
And his disarming charm starts to work
           G           C           G           C
And with a drink and a lie, in the blink of an eye
D                 G
Something amazing occurs

Chorus 1:
              C
He's suddenly single
D         Em
Instantly free
                      D
And for three or four hours
                    G
He's the man of her dreams
                     C      D          Em     C
He acts like there's no one waiting at home
                  Am   G   C
He'll be suddenly single
             D      G
Till he's suddenly gone


Verse 2:

G                               C          G
He sneaks through the door at a quarter to four
                              C
But tonight there's no one to wake
D   G                                   C        G
The note that she wrote him says, "I've given up hoping
       Em                     D
I'd be able to change you someday."
   C
He sits on the bed, shaking his head
  G                  C
A man in complete disbelief
   G               C
He knows what he's lost
        G        C
Oh, but he never thought
D                    G
Someday, he'd really be


Repeat Chorus (Altered Lyrics)


Outro:
              Am   G   C
He's suddenly single
             D        C        D   G
'cause she's suddenly gone
